Preparation1. Add the short rib cubes, olive oil, salt, pepper and taco seasoning to a mixing bowl and coat the meat with the spice and oil.
2. Heat the oven to 180⁰C on conventional heat.
3. Heat a large ovenproof dish on the hob and brown the meat in batches. This process adds flavor to your stew. Once all the meat is brown, remove from the pot and set aside for use later. Do not drain or discard the oil as you will use it to make the sauce.
4. In the same pot, prepare the sauce. Heat the oil once again over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and allow to become slightly browned. Now add the soy sauce, cinnamon, coriander, cumin and paprika and still well. Cook for 4 minutes.
5. Add the passata, cider vinegar, tomato juice, tabasco sauce, red wine, water and coffee and let the sauce come to a boil.
6. Add the meat back into the pot and stir well. Put the lid on and bake in the oven for 60minutes, then reduce the heat to 150⁰C and cook for another 60minutes.
7. You can also add carrots, potatoes and other veggies of your choice if you prefer to have vegetables with your stew.
